It’s been a long time coming, but the Kickstarter backed Visual Novel, The Fruit of Grisaia, is now showing signs of release. On May 29th, Steam will be releasing the game for download to those that wish to purchase it for $29.99, or those who backed into the Kickstarter.

This early Steam release was put into effect by Sekai Project after backers on majority were fine with piecemealing the release rather than holding until the package was complete. Though, the only unfortunate side of the news is that those awaiting their physical release, and those awaiting the 18+ version, will still have to wait their turn.

The other bit of news that turned up from Sekai Project regarding the Kickstarter project was the closing of the Backerkit. For those still deciding what rewards and tiers, the Backerkit will be closed on May 18th. So be sure to lock in your choices. With the newly updated beach box art (image below), some may want to revisit and update their choices as well.
